Zinc Supplements to support & extend the life of your Anti-Wrinkle Injections

 Zinc has many benefits in relation to gut and skin health, but we now know that it also plays a major role in the effectiveness and longevity of anti-wrinkle.

Zinc supplements are often used to promote skin health or treat conditions such as acne, eczema or psoriasis. As we know, zinc has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, meaning that it normalises and accelerates the skins cellular functions and improves the skin’s healing time/process.

One of the many functions of zinc within the body & skin is to aid in the production of collagen and elastin – the proteins that maintain the integrity and firmness within the skin.

As we age, unfortunately we lack in the production of these proteins. We know that with a healthy skin structure, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is lessened, which is why we believe supporting the growth of these proteins is crucial in prolonging a youthful appearance.

Recently, studies have shown statistical significance that in fact, zinc supplementation incorporated into a balanced diet does improve the effectiveness and longevity of your botulinum toxin treatments (anti-wrinkle) by up to 30%.

Whilst it is not yet entirely understood/studied as to how this phenomenon occurs physiologically, it is believed that the healthy skin structure enhances the appearance of the anti-wrinkle injectable results.

After all, Zinc is a naturally occurring mineral within our bodies however in this day & age, most of us do not have an adequate supply.
So on your way to your next anti-wrinkle appointment, stop by the health food store & grab yourself some Zinc Supplements!
